Not illustrated. 1922 Excerpt: ...the liver is compelled to grow out into the septum. It lies at first within the mesenchyme of the septum, between the two walls of the septum. Owing to the fact as already explained that the great veins enter the heart by way of the septum, the liver also acquires important relations to these veins, as will be discussed in the section on the circulatory system. The liver rapidly increases in size so that it can no longer be contained within the limits of the septum. It consequently bulges posteriorly, carrying with it the posterior wall of the septum, which thus becomes the peritoneal covering or serosa of the liver. Later, the region where the liver bulges from the septum narrows down on dorsal and lateral sides, leaving anterior and ventral connections between the liver and the septum (Fig. 48). The anterior connection is named the coronary ligament and is, as the name indicates, a circular ligament, by means of which the liver is permanently in all vertebrates suspended from the transverse septum or its derivative. The ventral partition formed by the constriction of the liver from the septum is the falciform ligament of the liver, which is also by virtue of its location a part of the ventral mesentery (Fig. 44B, p. 158). We thus see that the transverse septum has the following parts: the posterior wall of the pericardial cavity, the anterior wall of the pleuroperitoneal cavity, the falciform and coronary ligaments of the liver, the serosa of the liver, and the mesoderm tissue of the liver. In Anura and reptiles the coelom is divided in the same way as in fishes and urodeles into two compartments, the pericardial and pleuroperitoneal cavities. In these groups, however, the pericardial cavity is no longer situated anterior to the pleuroperitoneal cavity bu...
